A business you're using asked Authifly to send you a one-time code, to make sure it's really you signing in, creating an account, or approving something. It's legitimate, it expires in minutes, and we'll never ask you to share it. That's it.
If a message feels off, or you're being pushed to share a code, trust that instinct. The safest move is to go to the business yourself — open their official app, or type their website address in by hand.
Don't tap a link inside the message and don't call a number it gives you. A real business will never need you to read a verification code back to them.

Authifly is a verification service. When a business needs to check it's really you — signing in, opening an account, or confirming a change — it asks Authifly to send you a short, one-time code. We deliver that code over whichever channel reaches you fastest, like WhatsApp, SMS, or email. Authifly is powered by Bird.
Almost always because you just did something that needs confirming — logging in, signing up, resetting a password, or approving a payment or change. The business behind that action asked us to make sure it was really you. If you weren't doing any of those things, you can simply ignore the code; it does nothing on its own.
Yes — as long as you're entering it on the screen where you started. Only type the code into the app or website you were already using when you asked to sign in or verify. Never share it in reply to a message, a phone call, or a link someone sent you. We never ask you to read a code back to us.
If a code arrives out of the blue, don't worry — and don't share it. The code is useless to anyone but you, and it expires in minutes, so you can safely ignore it. If it keeps happening, it may mean someone is trying to access an account of yours, so it's worth changing that account's password directly on the official site or app.
